I guess there is going to be mass spams of lay ups of Habits in
the next few months for the December batches onwards...
as can be seen, the Euro VI emission standard comes into effect
on 1st Jan 2018, so all the remaining Euro V DDs have to be
registered by the end of 2017 (some may be laid up first depending
on whether bodywork had been completed on chassis itself)
going by the current trend, they will wait till December ... you
already say need to be register by end of Dec 2017, so the december
batches wont be affected much..
around 100 A95 plus 59 units of B9TL and maybe 30-40 units of
Citaros to be registered..
around 60 habits plus 50 MK IV plus 3 VO3x to be deregistered by
end 2017.
plus LTA will allocate around 60-70 buses to SBST for seletar
package..
plus some units for the balance 4 new BSEP services.... so the
figure is just nice...
